At the end of a scenic driveway, through 89-acres of mature forest of hardwoods, pines, and birches, reach a haven on a mountain crest. The recently-built, authentic Timberpeg post-and-beam home is designed to be as stress-free as possible, with an adaptable open-floor plan. An unusually high cathedral ceiling permits a wall of windows, that allow sun- and moonlight to stream through.
The great room and the master bedroom, on the first level, feature Finnish fireplaces made of soapstone—the best natural material to withstand fire and store heat. The spacious kitchen, with maple cabinetry, has counters of soapstone, on three walls, that match the fireplaces. The second level has two guest rooms, a loft area that can be used as a study, and a full-bath. The foothills of the Berkshire Mountains provide vistas from the ample bluestone patio. Immediately around the house, are an in-ground, heated pool, a spa and sauna, a field suitable for lawn games, and landscaped flower beds. The property, and the layout of the home are such that the house is easily expandable, if one should wish to build additions. This is country living at it most desirable, affording the added benefit of swimming and boating on Queechy Lake. Here, you are in solitude, away from urban hassles, but minutes from the fine dining, and the culture that defines the region—Tanglewood, theater, and dance — plus skiing. Ten minutes from the Taconic State Parkway and I-90, and 30 minutes from Amtrak in Hudson.
